Here’s how to contact us:

Emergencies

If someone is in imminent danger, call 9-1-1 or your local police immediately. You can also provide information on the FBI’s electronic tip line, which we monitor 24/7. If you do so, please be specific and let us know up front that it is an emergency.

To report a missing child or the sighting of a missing child, you can also contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children by calling 1-800-THE-LOST or by visiting its website.

To report child sexual exploitation, use the electronic Cyber Tip Line or call 1-800-843-5678. The Cyber Tip Line is operated by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in partnership with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

If your child is being abducted internationally by a family member and is not yet abroad, contact the U.S. Department of State.
